The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 648

Aurelia gently slid the deadbolt back, her heart pounding as she was about to make her escape. But before she could take another step, she felt a powerful grip on her arm, pulling her back into a firm embrace.

Panic surged within her, and she lashed out with punches and kicks. "Let go of me, you jerk!"

"It's me. Stop struggling," came a deep, familiar voice close to Aurelia’s ear.

Recognition hit Aurelia like a bolt of lightning, her eyes widening in shock. It was the man she'd seen at the dessert shop.

"Who... who are you?"

The man removed the lifelike silicone mask from his face with his deft fingers, revealing chiseled features that left her speechless.

"Leopold!" she gasped.

Was this what they called the art of disguise? Had he mastered the ability to change faces? No wonder he was the CEO of the world's leading high-tech corporation!

Leopold scooped her up effortlessly and settled onto the couch, cradling her in his lap.

Curiosity overcame her anxiety as she took the mask from his hands, examining it with interest.

"Is this 3D printed?"

"I've got one for you, too." He retrieved a box from under the coffee table, revealing a woman's "face" inside.

Wow! Excitement bubbled within Aurelia as she delicately removed the mask from the box and placed it against her face, looking into the mirror.

The mask was cool to the touch and surprisingly breathable. Tailor-made for Aurelia, it fit her facial structure perfectly, almost indistinguishable from her skin.

High-tech gadgets never cease to amaze!

"If Megan knew you’ve slipped away with this, she'd be livid." Aurelia said.

As the saying goes, for every clever move, there's a countermove.
